This week, we're...

Watching the clock.

We've all wondered how long we have. An Alpowered app, Death Clock, claims to put a number on it. Developer Brent Franson says it uses over 1,200 life - expectancy studies, and factors in diet, stress levels, sleep patterns and other data for its grim calculations. Users are treating it as a warning sign to live healthier. Doesn't it feel like a morbid, self-fulfilling prophecy?

In the bro zone.

We’ve heard of finance bros, gym bros, and tech bros. Meet passport bro: He travels to poor countries, befriends locals, and films every cultural shock for content. There’s an I Got Scammed video, and I Got Sick vid. Catch them at tourist traps this season. And tell Simon to go back.

Hanging out in the kitchen.
